Drunken Vince Neil Video Contradicts Motley’s Tour Claims

As we all know, Motley Crue have ripped up their cease a desist contract forbidding the band from touring. To mixed feelings and reviews. They then planned this massive tour with Poison and Def Leppard, among other artists and guests. Promoting the tour as an ultimate event. Which I honestly think it has the potential to be. But recently Motley have been under fire when frontman Vince Neil sent a drunken, disoriented birthday video to a super fan.

Normally with bands like Motley it wouldn’t be a big deal. In some cases it’s to be expected. So the drunken thing isn’t as big of a deal as what the video really revealed, what was really shown was even more weight gain. I don’t think anyone is surprised about the weight gain. But Motley have been promoting this tour as some big, healthy comeback to the glory days of the bands career. Nikki Sixx has even stated and tweeting statements like ‘We’re really getting in shape. Vince is killing it in the gym, working on strength training and cardio.’ Well, if that’s true, someone forgot to tell him that diet is also a factor in getting in shape. But it looks likely that the bands claims amount to nothing more than false advertising.

It’s really disappointing because it’s pretty obvious that Vince’s vocal struggles are directly related to his weight. If he actually lost it, who knows what he could do vocally. I’m sure it wouldn’t sound like the 80’s, but it would certainly have to be better than what he’s performed in the last ten years. The rest of the band sounds great. Tight as ever honestly. But the piss poor vocals really take you out of the shows. And it looks like things aren’t going to change any time soon.
